“When I took up the piano at the age of 5, Steinway was a dream - literally, as there were none in Lithuania, then part of Soviet Union. Only after arriving in Israel some seven years later, I encountered a Steinway concert grand, listening to the Rubinstein Competition. In 1979 it was a privilege hands on" contact with a Steinway concert grand, performing an audition for Zubin Mehta and Isaac Stern, by recommendation of America-Israel Cultural Foundation, at Mann Auditorium. I fell in love with the instrument - rich; bright; expressive; flexible and varied sound. The love affair continues in concert performances and recordings in Paris, Lithuania, and the USA."
